Story Behind the Song
I was sitting quietly one day, drinking a coffee, when I found myelf starting to wonder about all the people that have come and gone in my life over the years - not just lovers (not that I've had many of those), but everyone that has meant something special to me. So, on a subliminal level, the lyrics relate to the fact that we all become 'emotionally naked' to those we love and trust, not matter what type of relationship we have with them.
Lyrics
CHORUS
With you I'm out of orbit spinning so uncontrollably
Like when we took our clothes off and ran, naked to the sea
You did this to me, set free my liberty
The warmth of the sun penetrated beyond our empathy (metaphorically)
Last year the sun was high, way up in the sky
Was such a lovely day, the day we wondered down onto the beach
I was so happy then, the best I've ever been
But now you've gone, it's got me thinking
You were so special. Much more than sexual
CHORUS
Well that was last year, the suns not shining now
It's slipped behind a clowd, there's only empty faces in the crowd
What happened to us? Where did it all go wrong?
Without you I am lost, without you I simply can't go on
No I can't go on
I can't go on
I can't go on
You left me stranded
Left me naked, so naked without your love
Oh how I miss you
You are so special
(come back to me)
Wish I'd told you 'I love you'
(come back to me)
Wish I'd told you 'I need you'
(come back to me)
I miss you
